Find a unit vector u in the same direction as v= (8,-4)

Mathematics
1 answer:
polet [3.4K]3 years ago
6 0
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this exercise we have the following vector:

\vec{v}=(8,-4)

So we need to find a unit vector \vec{u} which is defined as follows:

\vec{u}=\frac{\vec{v}}{\mid \vec{v} \mid}

Finding the magnitude of the vector:

\mid \vec{v} \mid=\sqrt{(8)^2+(-4)^2} \\ \\ \mid \vec{v} \mid=\sqrt{64+16} \\ \\ \mid \vec{v} \mid=\sqrt{80} \\ \\ \mid \vec{v} \mid=4\sqrt{5}

Then, by substituting the unit vector is:

\vec{u}=\frac{(8,-4)}{4\sqrt{5}} \\ \\ \vec{u}=\frac{(8,-4)}{4\sqrt{5}} \\ \\ \vec{u}=(\frac{8}{4\sqrt{5}},-\frac{4}{4\sqrt{5}}) \\ \\

\vec{u}=(\frac{8}{4\sqrt{5}}\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}},-\frac{4}{4\sqrt{5}}\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}) \\ \\ \\ \boxed{\vec{u}=\left(\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5},-\frac{5}{\sqrt{5}}\right)}

Can someone show me way of solving this​
erma4kov [3.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =  ln( \frac{1}{x} )

To find the derivative, notice we have a function 1/x inside of another function, ln(x)

We use what we call the chain rule,

It states that

derivative of a '

\frac{d}{dx} f(g(x)) =  f '(g(x)) \times \: g '(x)

Here f is ln(x)

f is 1/x

So first, we know that

\frac{d}{dx} ( ln(x)  =  \frac{1}{x}

so

f'(g(x)) =  \frac{1}{ \frac{1}{x} }

We know that

g'(x) =  - \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} }

So we have

x \times  -  \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} }  =   \frac{ - 1}{x}

What is the value of the function when x = 1?
sattari [20]
Just look at the x axis (horizontal) and see where x=1 or go 1 unit from the origin (0,0), then go up untill you hit a point that coresponds witha y value which looks to be 2 so coresponding y for x=1 is y=2

if we are given point (1,2) then
(x,y)
x=1
y=2
that is the solution already
